‘College GameDay’ signs take aim at Georgia’s off-field issues

A clear theme emerged from the signs held high at College GameDay live in Austin, Texas, during Week 8.

Awful Announcing was on-site in the heart of the Forty Acres from the south mall, and documented some of the signage displayed by the Texas Longhorns’ faithful. In attempting to needle the University of Georgia and its fans, those in the crowd elected to make their signs related to the issues plaguing Kirby Smart and CO. — and they were controversial, to say the least.

Over the past two years, Georgia’s football program has faced 30 incidents involving speeding or reckless driving, along with three assault cases.

Most recently, on October 9, Smart suspended wide receiver Colbie Young indefinitely following his arrest on misdemeanor battery charges, which included allegations of assault on an unborn child.

Just weeks earlier, on September 13, cornerback Daniel Harris was arrested for reckless driving.

According to ESPN , at least eight Georgia players were arrested in 2024, although some had their driving-related charges reduced or dismissed.
